Is a domain registration not a natural Monopoly? I was under the impression that if I wanted to but a domain name I would have to do it through a domain register. Is there a way that I can get a .com domain directly from the US government?
- drdaeman 8y ago> the US government Actually, ICANN. But it's still a single entity at the top. And IIRC they don't register names by themselves. Registrars are not a monopoly, though. I've read that in theory, you can even become one for yourself: https://www.thesitewizard.com/domain/register-with-icann-sans-middlemen.shtml https://www.thesitewizard.com/domain/register-with-icann-san...
